Seek and Save!

Luke 19: 10
10 … “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Jesus had a specific purpose in His life, and nothing would get in the way of it being accomplished.
I have a purpose too, but I wonder how well I’ll do at the end of my life, towards accomplishing it?

Yes, I’m a Pastor of a little church in NE Wisconsin, and my purpose is specific.
I should be directing people to the One who can save them.

Quite candidly, I’m planning to go on vacation, and then move to a different dwelling once we arrive home.
One we get settled in that new place, it won’t be long before I start planning for an Elk hunting trip in SW Colorado.

But none of those events are a part of my real purpose.
While I live life on this earth, all that I will ever do for the sake of Christ, is all that will stand the test of time.

Sometimes, I think we get our true purposes mixed up.
Gathering the most memories, or things, is not the measure of a successful life.

I believe Jesus was truly satisfied at what He accomplished in 33 short years.
A family friend recently passed away, and there isn’t any funeral or service to remember what she did while she lived here.

I wonder if she accomplished what Jesus had her here for?
I wonder at the end of my life, if I’ll be satisfied?


The real question though is, will He be satisfied? Time will tell…
